Sesame: A Numerical Simulation Tool for Polycrystalline Photovoltaics

June 11, 2018
Author(s)
Benoit H. Gaury, Yubo Sun, Peter Bermel, Paul M. Haney
We present a new software simulation tool "Sesame", which solves the drift-diffusion-Poisson equations in 1 and 2-dimensions. Sesame is distributed both as an open source Python package and as a standalone executable for Windows. The software is designed

Femtotesla atomic magnetometry in a microfabricated vapor cell

December 20, 2010
Author(s)
William C. Griffith, Svenja A. Knappe, John Kitching
We describe an optically pumped 87Rb magnetometer with 4.5 fT/Hz 1/2 sensitivity when operated in the spin-exchange relaxation free (SERF) regime. The magnetometer uses a microfabricated vapor cell, consisting of a cavity etched in a 1 mm thick silicon

Literature Review of Mobile Robots for Manufacturing

May 6, 2015
Author(s)
Michael O. Shneier, Roger V. Bostelman
Mobile robots are devices that can move autonomously to accomplish their goals. This paper provides a review of such robots, mainly oriented towards manufacturing applications. It describes the kinds of mobile robots that are used and what criteria are

New Capabilities for Process and Interaction Modeling in BPMN 2

January 5, 2011
Author(s)
Stephen White, Conrad Bock
This paper provides a high-level introduction to new features in processes and interaction diagrams in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Version 2.0. BPMN 2.0 expands the capabilities of BPMN 1.x Process and Collaboration diagrams, and adds

Effects of Roof Age on Asphalt Shingle Performance During High Wind Events

July 28, 2026
Author(s)
Wesam Mohamed, Rachel Kovar, Franklin Lombardo, Tanya Brown-Giammanco
This manuscript aims to examine whether roof age affects the level of roof cover damage observed under relatively similar hurricane wind speeds. This manuscript reports the results of an observational study of damaged asphalt roof shingles after Hurricane

Kicking the Tires of the NIST Microwave Uncertainty Framework,

December 8, 2016
Author(s)
Ronald A. Ginley
As with anything new, especially metrology tools, you want to know how good the new tool is. This is generally done through comparisons with existing systems. In this paper such a comparison is described. The new NIST method of processing measurements and

Ultraviolet Photoemission Spectra of Para-Phenylene-Ethynylene Thiols Chemisorbed on Gold

January 1, 2008
Author(s)
Christopher D. Zangmeister, Roger D. van Zee, Steven W. Robey, N E. Gruhn, Yuxing Yao, J M. Tour
Photoemission spectra of para-phenylene-ethynylene thiols chemisorbed on gold have been measured. Four compounds were studied: 4,4'-bis(phenylethynyl)-benzenethiol, 4 (phenylethynyl)benzenethiol, 4-ethynylbenzenethiol, and benzenethiol. The spectra were

Ideal Gas Database, version 2.0

September 25, 2006
Author(s)
Vladimir Diky, Michael D. Frenkel
The NIST TRC Ideal Gas Database provides information on the most important thermodynamic properties (heat capacities, entropies, enthalpies, Gibbs free energies and enthalpies and Gibbs free energies of formation) of organic and some other compounds in the
